Hello again,

Well after spending some time in webmin and making sure ONLY my wireless 
connection, wlan1 (I changed it from eth1) was active, and that my default 
gateway was not running through eth0, I seem to have everything figured out. 
My wireless connection is running strong!

One last question though; I've downloaded the wpa supplicant tar.gz, but can't 
seem to figure out how to install it. When I run "make" in the directory I 
just get a load of errors. I'm at a loss on this one so any help would be 
appreciated.

Here is what happens when I type "make" (I apologize for the length, but I 
figure the more info you have the more help it will be to you).

[root at localhost wpa_supplicant-lnxt2003121400]# make
